Although abolitionist feelings had been strong during the American revolution and in the Upper South in the 1820's it did not really form a movement until 1830. The Second Great Awakening gave a boost to the movement. In December 1833 60 people of all genders and races met to form the American anti slavery society which denounced slavery as a sin that must be abolished, endorsed nonviolence, and condemned racial prejudice. By 1835 the society had support from African-American communities in the North and had established branches in the free states and flooded the North with antislavery literature, agents, and petitions demanding Congress end all federal support for slavery.
